Welcome to Litsy!

I managed to squeeze in more more book in April, and read this yesterday while enjoying a long soak in the bath.

I marked a bunch of fun projects that I will modify to make more stimulating for a middle schooler. Summer planning has begun!

I have a lot of respect for people who knit and crochet. I don‘t have the patience. Somewhat surprised sewing and quilting aren‘t on the list - I wish I was good at both! #makerswap

It's #makerswap opening day. I am so excited to see everyone's projects. I'll be checking up and keep tabs throughout the day. I started my day by opening the small parcel I have have for over a month. @CrowCAH made me a personalized library sign. I love it. And the wood cross stitch or dents look like a cross stitch project I would actually finish. Thank you so much!!

#MakerSwap open day is tomorrow. I know this is a bit anal but there is still a lot of white spaces on my tracking chart. One column is sent and the other is received.

Please remember to post when you get your package and again when you open your package to show of the contents.

My remaining matches were delivered late last night or this morning. How about yours?

@CSeydel Look what arrived today! And @CrowCAH a box is going out to you tomorrow! I am in Wisconsin so you will have it Thursday. Can‘t wait for you to open! 🙌

@LibrarianRyan #MakerSwap

It came. It came. #makerswap @Tera66

Got this in yesterday's mail. No name and I don't have my master list in front of me. When I do I will tag you!! #makerswap

@Daisydo it arrived!! And I got to it before the storm.

Almost done. #makerswap.

On its way! Should hopefully be there by the end of the week! #makerswap @collegecatlady @LibrarianRyan

I was evil and gave @ReadingRover her #makerswap at BER. Made her carry it around all day. 😈

Came home to my #makerswap box sitting on my doorstep today!!! Thank goodness we are leaving for vacation tomorrow so this box won‘t be staring me in the face tempting me to peek inside until we get back. @Craftylikefox I can‘t wait to see what‘s inside! 😆🎉

#makerswap #1 ready to head out the door. This one is getting hand delivered to New York.

It's time for a#MakerSwap check in. How are projects going. Getting things done? Getting things shipped? Having problems?

@CrowCAH @tournevis and @Smarkies have shipped theirs and @theresidentromantic and @teebe have received theirs.

My three matches are halfway done on the dining room table. Yours?

A little glimpse of my package that is getting SO CLOSE to being ready to go out! I hope my swap match likes everything! #makerswap @LibrarianRyan

I found this keychain at Michaels this morning for .99 and thought it was perrrrfect for the #MakerSwap. So if your interested in getting one check out Michaels craft store. They are up by the register! 😁😁

Spending a few minutes with my #makerswap project before work today. I had so many ideas about what to make & I may change my project, but I like how this is coming out so far!

I still have not heard from the following people if they received their match. Please respond as soon as possible.

Side note : @Endowarrior21 @Amabear @Valink I just resent yours.

#makerSwap matches have been sent. Check your spam folder just in case. Please let me know if you have any problems.

I signed up for my first swap!! This is the swap I‘ve been waiting for, and I think at one point I even posted there should be something like this, so I‘m excited to see it‘s happening. Thanks for organizing this @LibrarianRyan !! I want to start planning my package, but I suppose I should see what my matches interests are first, huh?

I really love receiving handmade gifts from fellow littens! I‘m a painter 👩🏻‍🎨 so my match will definitely be receiving an original by yours truly. Can‘t wait!

Hey all. I thought I would do a swap. I promise another character photo challenge is on it's way soon.

I know lots of us like to make things. We sew, paint, color, knit etc. why not share our love of making with a #makerswap

For more details and rules check out the registration. https://goo.gl/forms/WX0YBmRWsu4GQkYE3.

This is a longer swap to allow all us makers time to complete projects.

#recentnonfictionread

We found this at the library today and we are planning our next project!

#marchintoreading

Here's my #shelfie for the #FunFridayPhoto. Those are rubber band planets (plus the sun and Pluto) sitting on my middle shelf. The project is in the book Maker Lab, which is a great science-y book for kids that I had fun with even more than my kids did. 😳📚☄️🔬

I picked this up looking for things to keep my little ones busy for Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks because they are always borrrrred. This book is awesome. We haven't done any projects yet but looking through it last night, the supplies are all things I already have around the house.
I run into crafts or science projects that involve things I have to go hunt down and it just ruins it for me. So I love this book just for that already.

Got this for my younger kids. It has cool projects that can be made with stuff you probably already have around the house. We already did the Monster Marshmallow experiment. My 10 yo insisted on repeating it over and over then eating the results. 😄🔬⚗📊
